Ok, so I was 'stumbling' around the internet, with my StumbledUpon toolbar... XD When I came accross this.
Its like a history lesson from the year 2014 about how major news sources die off and explaining what has become of information and how we will get our news. lol (thats the best way I can describe it.)

This whole thing sounds extreamly plausable, cept maybe the part about Google and Amazon joining to make Googlezon. XD But watch it and find out for your self!

This has a very eerie, almost matrixy, way of describing past events. XD Everyone I've shown this too, believes this is probably what could happen! lol
Well worth the 8 or 9 minutes of viewing time. =3 Enjoy.

xD~ It is possible, though I do agree that Googlezon sounds farfetched. I'm sure Google is possible of doing that all on its own. o_o

Interesting is certainly the word for it... if I didn't know any better, I might believe that this was from the future... XD or not...

Still I wouldn't put it past Amazon or Google to make something as silly as Googlezon XD.

But can you imagine how much the newspapers would be mad at google for using their info on the computerized news sites? There is already enough contravercy out there over it... Because Google News is actually a real thing! Totally run by their computers! o.o/

That was really weird.

But it was funny. I don't know why it was funny....It just was.

Googlezon...That's a really awesome name. It's awesomener than "Google."

Well, the word google stands for 100^100 (100 to the 100th power) Which is, I think, the biggest number science has givin a name.

So to me, Google made sence... Googlezon however, is odd to me at least, cause its a made up word from combinding to real words, by taking the whole first word, and only part of the second word... O_o Unless Google is the more dominate company at the time, I dont think Amazon will get half their name chopped off. XD

Either way, I'd enjoy seeing anything happen, that doesn't help Microsoft. XD

As for the Google Grid, I doubt it would be something visual, but more like the word Grid describing how it will work/is organized. lol

A googolplex is the number 10^{10^{100}} (or 10^10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, or 10^googol), that is, 1 followed by a googol zeroes.

And its spelt googol.

We all know Google's going to take over the world. This should come as no surprise.

Woops ^_^;\ I'm a little confused now, but I think I knew that... xD thanks for correcting me... XD (didn't know how it was spelled though, thanks =3)
So I'm assuming Google, based their name off of a googolplex, just they desided to spell it... more... easy XD.
